Duo Del Ponte is a classical music project founded by two graduates of Mozarteum University of Salzburg, Mher Davidian (Violin) and Anton Rosputko (piano).
The idea behind the project is to combine the Eastern classical music (with the emphasis on Armenian works) and the Western (Austrian music in priority). In opinion of Duo Del Ponte, the mutual impact on each other of those two cultural directions is probably the reason why they match so well together when put together in a concert program. What also makes a great contribution to understanding Armenian pieces performed by Duo Del Ponte is Mr. Davidian's Armenian cultural background and mentality, as well as big influence of Austrian culture on the two during their long and prolific period in the famous city of Mozart. Those factors and the fascinating compatibility of East and West motivate Duo Del Ponte to explore this phenomenon deeper while presenting their constantly increasing repertoire, including still unknown Armenian musical treasures for a broader international audience.
While starting this project, it was very curious for the two musicians to perform such a program to an audience which mostly is used to Western music, and Eastern music from other countries than Armenia. However, as this experimental decision regarding the repertoire met an excellent response from audiences, the members of Duo Del Ponte decided to continue this interesting musical journey.
